Toru Amuro put down his chopsticks and stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the professor."
He pushed the door open. Almost at the same time, another door in the same direction opened.
Toru Amuro was startled for a moment, turned around to look, and then instinctively frowned: In the box on the other side, Ireland actually walked out.
…
Ireland heard the news and went out, and not surprisingly, he "ran into" the two of them. He showed a smile that made people angry, and said to Amuro: "What a coincidence, you are also eating here?"
Bobon didn't want to pay attention to him, but the high school student behind him nodded politely in response.
Ireland took advantage of the situation and looked at Jiang Xia, testing the two people's plans for tonight: "Yamada and I are going to KTV in a while, why don't we go together?"
Vodka, who was huddled in the box and didn't want to come out: "...?" Who wants to go to the KTV with you! That kind of ghost place with dim lighting and a sealed space where everyone has access to food and water. Even I can think of you without Uzo.
100 ways to die!
However, unexpectedly, Jiang Xia rejected the invitation. He regretted: "I have something to do tonight, and boss Amuro wants me to see the psychiatrist he hired."
Toru Amuro nodded and said rudely to Ireland: "We have business matters, so we won't go with you."
Vodka looked at him, then at Jiang Xia, and a question mark slowly appeared above his head.
"Send a doctor to Jiang Xia?...Isn't this guy Bourbon really knowing his identity, so he is deliberately sending a bribe?"
Vodka only felt that the surrounding situation was unfathomable for a moment: "Speaking of which, what is Uzo implying by taking the initiative to say this? - Does he also want the doctor I have?... Then you should come quickly.
Take it!”
"Anyway, this is a good thing for me at the moment." Vodka thought wildly for a moment, comforting himself in his heart, "If there is a new doctor tossing, Uzo will relax his vigilance on me, so that I can take the opportunity to complete it.
Mission, return to Brother Gin - I hope the doctor Bourbon chooses can be as playable as himself..."
"ah--!!"
A terrified scream echoed through the corridor.
Vodka: "..."
Toru Amuro: "..."
Ireland:"……"
"That's where the sound is coming from." As he said that, the high school detective abandoned his three colleagues and ran over dutifully following the sound.
Amuro Toru's eyes twitched slightly as he followed, with a vague premonition in his heart.
And soon, this bad premonition came to fruition.
——After passing through the quaint courtyard covered with stone slabs, the private room on the other side appeared in front of everyone.
At the door of one of the private rooms, the front desk lady in kimono fell to the ground. She moved back in horror and shouted: "Someone is coming, someone is coming quickly!"
The guests in each box were alarmed one after another. Some continued to eat without having anything to do with themselves, while others came out curiously.
Jiang Xia stopped next to the lady at the front desk and picked up the collapsed person from the ground: "What happened?"
As he spoke, he looked into the room. He saw a wide square coffee table in the middle of the box, and on the coffee table, a man was lying there on his back with a dead look on his face.
The deceased was wearing a suit and had just had a new haircut. He was well-dressed and proud of his life. However, a knife was inserted deeply into his heart, which brought an end to his life as a young associate professor.
"Kane...Kaneda?!" Professor Iwama and Ryuichi Arai also approached the door curiously. They looked into the room and exclaimed - Kamezo Kaneda, who came with them, died so suddenly.
.
The two wanted to rush in to check the situation, but Jiang Xia raised his hand to stop him. The detective sighed: "Let's call the police first, and call an ambulance by the way - although it seems unlikely, but what if?"
…
Not long after, the police arrived.
Ireland looked numbly at the circle of police cars outside the store, then turned to look at Vodka with a grimace on his face, and whispered: "I thought you would try to slip away before the police arrived."
Vodka rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to speak: If you hadn't been free to follow Jiang Xia, would we have encountered this situation?
...The pig teammates are really deceiving. After such a comparison, he really misses his elder brother more and more.
Vodka's loyalty quietly 1, 1, 1 time.
Diligent police officers are carefully investigating the scene.
Of course, it is customary for police officers to include a detective.
Jiang Xia walked around the room twice, and then looked at the police officer who followed him eagerly: "There were no signs of a struggle at the scene. Judging from the direction where the deceased fell, someone should have appeared from the window, and the deceased greeted him.
Go up there and be stabbed right in the center."
"From the window?" After hearing this, the Mumu Police Department walked over. He looked out and was a little surprised, "Why is there a river outside the window?"
The lady at the front desk explained in a low voice: "This is a feature of our Liushui Pavilion - all food delivery services are carried out by food delivery boats floating on the water, so that guests will not be disturbed and it will have an artistic conception like a meandering water cup."
Vodka nodded while listening: You can't go to restaurants that are too automated, and you can't go to restaurants that are too artistic. If you have to eat out in the future, then choose an ordinary hotel that is so mediocre that Uzo will lose interest after just one glance.
.
The Mumu Police Department glanced at him: I didn't expect Brother Yamada to be so eager to learn... As long as he continues to stay with Jiang Xia, given time, maybe he can really become a detective brother in his own right?
A veteran police officer was slightly pleased. However, at present, compared to Mr. Yamada, who is still growing up, the case in front of him is obviously more worthy of attention.
The Mumu Police Department carefully studied the creek outside the window and scratched his hat: "This man-made creek is quite wide, and there are no bulges on the wall to draw strength from. If the murderer sneaked in through the water,
When he climbed over the window, the ground should have been wet...but the tatami by the window was very dry."
"So the murderer must have used some unconventional methods when infiltrating." Jiang Xia looked at Officer Takagi next to him, "Let's take a look at the existing information first."
Officer Takagi responded skillfully and said thankfully: "Thanks to the acquaintances of the deceased present, we were able to identify him so quickly - the deceased Kameda Kamezo, 29 years old, was an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Jomon University.
"The time of death was roughly around 7:50 pm. He died from being penetrated through the heart with a sharp weapon. Judging from the traces at the scene, he should have died on the spot.
"During this period, all the staff at Liushui Pavilion had alibi. In other words, the murderer should be an external intruder or hidden among the guests."
As he said that, Officer Takagi thought of something and gestured to Jiang Xia to the two people behind him: "By the way, these two are the companions who came with the deceased - Professor Iwama and Professor Arai."
Toru Amuro looked at Professor Iwama: "..." I don't know why, but the bad premonition increased.
